Unfortunately, the Christian Church has used “Turn the other cheek” as proof that Christians should be losers, doormats and wimps. They’re wrong!

Episode 34 04/12/2017
????Turn the other cheek explained (Biblical Pengci Scam!) | Matthew 5:38-41

On this episode of #CrackYourBible vlog, we’re talking about Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount, where He says “turn the other cheek.” Just like the “Pengci” scammers of China, people in Jesus’ day were plagued by scammers who targeted them for money. Jesus was warning his followers not to retaliate, but to expose these evil people.

✝️ We know from the Bible that:
• Jesus says not to turn away from an “evil person” but to turn the other cheek. Matthew 5:38-41
• Jewish law required compensatory damages if a person was injured. Exodus 21:18-19
• Vengeance is for God to dole out. Deuteronomy 32:35
• You were not allowed to keep a person’s cloak as a pledge. Exodus 22:26-27
• There’s a time for peace & war. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, starting at the end of January 2017, I’ll be posting story time vlogs about people in the Bible who are just like you.

Even if you’re not a Christian, subscribe to hear the stories that your friends haven’t heard, your parents don’t know and that your pastor doesn’t teach.
